CDs
English
Frou Frou - Details
Price: $10
Imogen Heap's band before she went solo. The album is poetic and oftentimes dark, but I personally think that Heap's voice works especially well on some of the lighter moods of the album. An impressive CD.
Utada Hikaru - Exodus
Price: $8
Hikki's English album! She's better in English than she is at Japanese, actually, so if you're worried about "engrish," there's no worries here. It's different from her traditional Jpop sound--she takes this chance to experiment a bit with her music, and it makes for an interesting album. Love the titular track.
Japanese
Mai Kuraki - Delicious Way (official Korean release)
Price: $8
This is the official Korean licensed release (NOT a bootleg). The jewel case is a little scuffed, but the CD itself is in mint condition. This might be her first album? If you like Ayumi Hamasaki or Utada Hikaru, you'll like her brand of music.
m-flo - Astromantic (official Korean release)
Price: $8
This is the official Korean licensed release (NOT a bootleg). Don't worry, in all other repsects, it's the same as the original Japanese release. m-flo is an awesome dance-mix/club group with a lot of r&b and hip hop elements mixed in. After their main vocalist Lisa's departure, m-flo still continued on as a duo, opting instead to collaborate with some of the biggest names in Jpop instead of finding a replacement. The result is Astromantic, which has 17 awesome tracks recorded with names like BoA, Crystal Kay, Chemistry, and Dragon Ash. Very innovative group, very groovy sound.
The Bouncer OST (NEW AND IN SHRINKWRAP)
Price: $10
Not even opened! Soundtrack to the Squeenix game. Never played the game, so I don't really know how this sounds ^^; But it's Squeenix, so I'm sure the music is good. And fans are sure to like it.
Tekken Tag Tournament OST Limited Edition (NEW AND IN SHRINKWRAP)
Price: $10
Also a game I've never played. I hear it's popular though. Comes with a limited edition collectible card.

MANGA
Get Backers vol. 1-15 (Korean translation)
Price: $30 ($2 per book)
Story by: Yuya Aoki, Illustrations by: Rando Ayamine
Get Backers was one of those series I bought on a whim, and I really enjoyed the first few volumes of them (the Final Fantasy game gag in the beginning had me in stitches XD), but then a certain ninja came along and I never bothered to continue on with this series. For those not familiar with Korean translations, they're usually very well done (the language being so similar and everything), they're printed in slightly larger formats than Japanese manga for easier reading, and they usually have the original Japanese manga orientation (read left to right). Also as a bonus, all the sound effects are completely changed into Korean, making for a less messy reading experience.

Price: $8

Doujinshi
*siiiighs* I knew one day I'd have to sell my doujinshi. Please give my doujins a good home ;_; Please note: the ratings on these are going to be my best guess, but PLEASE--read the labels carefully and don't buy the shounen ai books if you can't handle it/don't know what it is.
I might also be willing to trade for what I put up here. Because the doujin collector in me would sometimes rather starve for pretty art :D Drop me a line if you see something you like!
Final Fantasy 7

The title got cut off in the scan, but I assure you, it's all there :p I bought this at AX from NEEC (aka the Japanese artists in artist alley!). Funny stories, with some fun poked at Sephiroth XD Includes a Wild Arms story in the back.
Fruits Basket
Title: Lovely
Artist/Circle: Mitsuki Yayoi
Pairing: Yuki/Tohru, Kyou/Tohru
Language: Japanese
Rating: G
Pages: 44

Cute art and sweet story with both of the major pairings implied. What really impressed me about this book was how closely the story telling style adhered to the original manga.
Title: Elixir
Artist/Circle: Kosama
Pairing: Roy/Ed implied, gag
Language: Korean
Rating: G
Pages: 50
Price: $12
Her chibi faces are so cute!! And her stories are so cute and funny ♥ There's even one that's one of those Roy-tries-to-get-a-kiss-from-Ed-for-information things, but he's too funny to be a bastard XD
Gundam Wing
Title: Cross 2000
Artist/Circle: Jungle-W
Pairing: 1x2
Language: Japanese
Rating: PG-13
Pages: 50 (about 15 is novel)
Price: $17
I can't believe I actually put this up for sale >_< *sighs* Anyway, as you can see from the cover, the art is ridiculously gorgeous. A serious, AU story where Duo appears to be a priest of some sort. Even the novel is really artistic, with lots of shadow silhouettes a la Utena.
Title: no more pain tonight
Artist/Circle: E.G.Project
Pairing: 1x2
Language: Japanese
Rating: PG-13
Pages: 48
Price: $13
Rather dark AU story. Lots of nudity, but mostly for existential, artistic purposes.
Title: No Problem
Artist/Circle: Minato Umino
Pairing: 1x2
Language: Japanese
Rating: PG
Pages: 22
Price: $8
Cute cute cute art! ♥ Rather cracky story XD Takes place after Heero busts Duo out of Oz. Duo wakes up from his injuries to find Heero getting stuff in order. Why? So he and Duo can go on their honeymoon, of course! Duo doesn't exactly hate the idea, but refuses to be seen as easy. As the title suggests, that's "no problem"--because Heero got them married while Duo was unconscious! |D Heero is speshul.
Disclaimer: good boys and girls shouldn't coerce their speshul someones into marriage ^^;
King of Fighters
Title: Lunacy
Artist/Circle: Inomushiki/RIP
Pairing: Iori/Kyo
Language: Korean
Rating: PG
Pages: 28
Price: $6
Honestly, I'm not even familiar with KoF, so I don't know the characters. I just liked the art :p
Ragnarok
Title: Ragnarok Online Couple Book
Artist/Circle: Various
Pairing: Various
Language: Korean
Rating: G
Pages: 120
Price: $8
RO is all the rage in Korea, and so this is probably more relevant to people who have played the game. Basically a bunch of couples from RO got together and made a doujinshi :D I'm not familiar with the game, but it was such cute art. No shounen ai in this book, if that bothers you.
Misc.
Title: Ricminusence
Artist/Circle: young mi/capsong/miya
Pairing: Eric/Minwoo (Shinhwa RPS)
Language: Korean
Rating: PG-13
Pages: 100
Price: $15
This is a doujinshi based on two members of the boy-band
Shin hwa. Normally RPS weirds me out, but I was a big enough fan of Young Mi's "Min-bong" series to overlook it and just buy this anthology. Very minor shelf wear.
Title: Studio Cal Best Selection
Artist/Circle: Various
Pairing: none, gen
Language: Japanese
Rating: G
Pages: 210
Price: $8
The artbook from NEEC. Various original stories put out by the students of NEEC. I swear I've seen that "something no Tenshi" before... Who knows, you might see these be published one day.
